I wasn't meaning to say that worrying about having cancer was disrespectful...

I just mean to say something about why she may have got the somewhat hostile reception (that she did) at an online cancer support group.

I'm not trying to diss her for wanting answers...

I'm just saying that the doctors thought the biopsy was an unnecessary procedure. Did you ask them how many people insist on biopsys in your position Deneb?

I don't know many doctors who are trigger happy to do procedures they consider unnecessary. Because of the risk of infection and the like...

They agreed to do it on Deneb's insistence... Then the results came back inconclusive and she is insisting on another one. If I understand correctly her insisting on a biopsy is actually AGAINST the doctors advice.

That being said... I'd probably get the procedure done too, just to check.

But... I'm not sure the problem is that you might have cancer (hence need an online cancer support cite) so much is the problem is that you are having difficulty turning your thoughts to more pleasant things (hence need a therapist to teach you how to do that).

Because there is a bit of a pattern...
I have nerve tremmors...
I have cancer
etc etc
When it gets to the point of requesting unnecessary procedures AGAINST doctors advice
(And getting into a panic worrying about whether one has condition x or condition y or whatever)
Then it is time for therapy sweetie.
